Gloria Ceballos | The Work
Statement
Gloria Ceballos' work is a metaphor of fragility, reflecting about subtle things and the importance of what is small, delicate, and many times imperceptible; based in my personal experiences when in the presence of nature or about human relationships. Ceballos expresses experiences that are not individual, but universal and, therefore, common to all of us.
These thoughts are rendered on my work on paper, sewing all the information together and taking advantage of the fragility of the media, subtly working its surface, suggesting a feeling of stillness and overwhelming, not only in the form of prints, but also in paintings and drawings, personal interventions and installations.
